Charles was born a son of William and Genevieve (Conrath) White on February 6, 1946 in Davenport. He was united in marriage to Jane Spiegel on July 11, 1981 at the lighthouse in Fort Casey, WA. Buck had proudly served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. He retired in 2009 from John Deer after 36 years of service.
Buck was a strong, gentle, tough guy with a big heart. He was very family oriented, going to all of his sons’ baseball games, and he loved spending time with his granddaughter, Isabelle. He enjoyed listening to old rock n’ roll music and was an avid baseball fan. His favorite team was the New York Yankees.
Those celebrating his life are his loving wife of 38 years, Jane White; sons, Charles W. White of Davenport, IA and Shane M. White of Davenport, IA; granddaughter, Isabelle Marie; along with many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Sandy Carlson; and brother, Billy White.
The family would like to thank all of his doctors and nurses for their kindness along the way.
